    None of the above.

    Hallowing is not a big celebration in Costa Rica. It is just another excuse to go out and party.

    We'll be scaring the crap out of the kids. Decorated the house and yard up. Got a few coffins and head stones laying around, play some scary music.

    I'll be dressed up in some bloody outfit with a gory mask, perched up in a tree and jump down just to watch the kiddies piss their pants. Happens every year

    Then after hours, prob. have a scary movie-a-thon, Hellraiser, Omen, and a few others. My family brings all their kids over, and we pull out the big screen projector and munch on the kid's treats.

  5. In my area it isn't really celebrated which is a pity because I remember all the fun I had as a kid going trick or treating.

    So for my plans will probably get a couple of mates around and watch scary movies or go around pranking the neighbourhood.

    I am still trying to decide whether to pull off an end of year prank on my old high school seeing they stopped us from doing it last year when we graduated.

  6. I am a student living at the University of Bath. Halloween is an excuse to get drunk and party, egging and toilet-rolling entire houses.

    This Halloween lands on a Friday.

    It's £1 a pint in the Union bar.

    We live in the most prominent house on the way back from the bar.

    Take a guess as to how badly our house will get hit.....

    It's going to be a helluva fight! Now, where did I put those rotten eggs....

  7. Here in Norway we aren't actually taking Halloween to serious, but over the last years those money making bastards out there are putting customs like Halloween in the spotlight just to earn some more money (sad, really sad).

    It is ok with small adorable kids that can't pull of the tricks, because they don't dare.

    Another thing is the "fresh" teenagers buying alot of eggs and such to ruin you entrance door or maybe your postbox.

    I really hope that some of these teenagers are trying to do som shit with my house, because I really feel like hitting something

    Well, actually I don't, but I hate the fact that these kids are just out there to make this day as much similar to hell as possible hehe (Not that I didn't think this was fun to, but hey... someone have to draw a line)

    Seriously, I'll make those kids eat som raw eggs or something to give them a lesson...

    I'm putting on a tgpo mask and scaring the CRAP out of everyone in my neighborhood.
    That should leave them with some nightmares

    I'm not doing much. I don't celebrate them. But, I do watch movie marathons.
    And, the movie (below) is one I watch every year. But, the one thing I
    hated most was how they edited it really sloppy. Like, they cut one scene
    and placed it elsewhere ie, when the guy slips over the blood in the hospital (I think that was in II) Anywasy.. you get the picture.

    I just got back from k-mart, and finally found my DVD movie Halloween
    ..might pick up II as well. But, I'll think about it. I always wanted it on VHS
    in widescreen, but you just can't find much anything in widescreen on VHS
    anymores. I like them because they make good TGIF (Friday) wind-downs
    more fun and interesting when things are 16:9 and all. Anyways...

    One of the reasons I really liked widescreen was, that I at least thought, you could see the whole frame of the orginal release...but found that while you see more on the left and right sides of the screen, you actually see much less at the top and bottoms of the screen...haven't figured out why they crop those parts off.

    I first saw Halloween at a Drive-in in 1978 when I was in my early teens. The very first thing I noticed that was missing when it first went to cable TV was they cropped most of P.J. Soles' bare breasts out during the See anything you like? shot while she's pulling down the sheet for Michael Myers...you only saw the tips of her breasts on TV in full screen, but at the Drive-In, you saw her full breasts.
    Then in widescreen, you see far less - it's all cropped out


    I probaly would never notice such things if it weren't for the skin - seems you never forget stuff like that

    Same with the shower scene in Carrie - Sissy Spacek is full frontal in the full screen version and cropped at the waist in the widescreen version.

    Sigourney Weaver - full frontal in Map Of The World, but cropped in the widescreen version.

    Alice Krige - full frontal in Ghost Story - cropped at the waist in widescreen version.

    And so on...

    '70s horror ficks have the most gore and skin, IMO 8)
    Especially the Italian imports.

    Halloween was cool for it's time, but got very cliche - the worst made horror movies are the ones from the '80s :P

    And though Hollywood may be good with effects and makeup, they're sad with coming up with cleaver and original plots...unfortunaly, it's all about making a fast buck.

    I did that once...my favorite has to be(I think it was my senior year) when a bunch of my friends and I hosed some kids. One of my friends has a high pressure industrial hose that can shoot water really far so we just got on his roof(his parents went out to some party) and sprayed anyone around us...the kids didnt know where it was coming from.

    Back in freshman year(i think) we went to this dark hill w/ paintball guns and at the base of the hill, there is a "trench" and at night, it's really tough to see if anyone is in there. The main thing about the hill was, its was a major intersection if any kids wanted to walk from our city to another(there typically arent any cars on that street during halloween)...so obviously, we hid out there and when there were'nt many witnesses, we bombarded the kids w/ paintballs(not hitting them, just scaring them).

    I scooped out the pumpkin and the girlie did all the fancy stuff.

    Sat down and watched The Monthman Prophecies - about as scary as it gets before girlie hides behing the sofa!

    Yep! Just finished off some apple pie with brandy cream washed down with some mulled wine.

    I take it that things are just starting over your side of the pond.

    OH wow - you just made me really hungry.

    No, I'm in the UK. I'm American and live here now and I am very depressed. Halloween's always been a favo(u)rite, but for the 4th year in a row - not one single trick-or-treater. :c( And I can not find pumpkin pie here either. :,c(

    I even used to get pumpkin pie ice cream this time of year. I'm pretty down about how it is a non-event for me now. So, I really enjoyed your pics. :c)
